Re: Dr.Pepper (Got my Headlights and Fog Lights!)
Alrightttttt
Just got my new headlights and fog lights, I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning:
Fog Lights:
Comparison of a Halogen H3 (left), HID H3c (middle) and regular HID H3 (right):
Not gonna lie, the HID H3c from VVME is not much smaller then a regular HID H3.. Pretty disappointed. The end looks to be the same length so I'm gonna have to do some cutting open of the backs of the Fog Light capsules.
And what I've always wanted:
Gonna go replace all the screws on the fog lights with rust free ones right now, and pick up some clear RTV for the headlights. Hopefully I can find myself some stock brackets lying around somewhere for my headlights. Then I'm not sure if I should put everything on before I fix the body damage or just wait..

So decided to see what the 3000K HID's was gonna look like because I was too excited.. to my disappointment, they're not yellow at all. Just a bright.. white...
And I ordered two 9007 HID bulbs, tried those out too.. they look like two different colors...
What the f*ck VVME

Ebays for sure, swapped stock oem brackets on them.
and went with these corners because I see too many people do clear corners, besides these corners are full black/amber where the clear corners I have are black/chrome back and a clear reflector. Much more stealth look with the full black imo.

E-Mail to VVME:
I just received this order this weekend and I am not happy from what was shipped to me. I bought new bulbs for my headlights and an entirely new kit for my fog lights as I was recently in a hit and run accident. I've been trying to get the front end of the car back together frantically and your lights were not at all what I expected:
I ordered two 9007 bulbs, as I tried these out, one side was more yellow then the other side. Even when fully warmed up and being connected via relay harness, the bulbs were not outputting the same color. I tried your guys ballasts and the one I currently had in the car with no change in results.
I decided to try out the 3000K H3c bulbs I purchased. Excited that they'd come out the yellow I've seen with many other HID kits, I was let down to see them with not a single hint of yellow, but instead, just a bright white. I don't understand why I was charged $9 extra to receive bulbs that look like they warm up to a temperature of 5000K when even forum members online express how their 3000K VVME bulbs come out yellow. I was told that the bulbs that they had received had a tint of yellow to the lens where mine are just a clear lens.
I am not happy as I just want my car put back together, and this order has not made things easier on me. I hesitated on taking my business to DDM because I honestly liked your kits better and have heard so much praise. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I haven't gotten a response since I E-Mailed them Monday morning, so I E-Mailed them again, same thing, but letting them know it's been over a day since I've sent it. This is garbage. Also, unsure if the cars gonna get fixed, it's gonna be pricey to redo the fenders/bumpers and I'm told I need a new hood.. Paint blending and all that jazz is gonna be expensive. Got quoted $550 for the labor without the cost of a new hood
And yea, if you look at the bulb in the middle, this is the 3000K VVME sent me, no yellow tint at all:

Yea I'm gonna look at some other places to get the work done. I bent the hood back so it at least lines up lol I've got another place I wanna try out.
And Nick, no joke, I would put the verification code thing in perfectly 2 or 3 times before it says it submitted the message, it's like they knew I was mad lol

Found them right off of Ebay. You can search 'Black Grand Prix Headlights'. There is actually a used set on there you can buy on the cheap and swap out your brackets.
So just called VVME since they didn't answer my E-Mails and I'm impatient when it comes to this kind of stuff. Got put on the phone with a lady who can barely speak English and was told to take pictures of the lights when they're on. So I'll be doing that tonight, and post them up here for even you guys to see.
